Size: 19.75″ x 21″. This coastal lifestyle art print feature’s Jay Alders’ Surf Painting, “Burning Inspiration” depicting a local acoustic jam around a beach bonfire. We prefer to call this an ‘Art Print’ rather than a Poster because it is printed on a very thick, more durable paper stock that makes this an awesome value. Featuring a Semi-gloss finish, this big, beautiful Poster is great for any Home, Dorm, Apartment or Office and makes an awesome and affordable gift!

This painting was conceptualized as a sketch Jay did during a Jam while on the Alma Surf Festival tour in Brazil with Donavon Frankenreiter, G Love, Matt Costa and ALO. Between shows the crew gathered at a mutual friend’s home in the hills of Rio de Janeiro and what took place was called by some of the musician’s there as “The most amazing Jam session ever”. ” This painting pays tribute to that experience and the musicians and friends who continue to inspire.

Jay collaborated with close friend and talented musician Gabe Gomez to create this coastal work of art. The sketches that ensued were destined to grace the cover of the upcoming Gomez album titled, “In my Island” due out in early September 2012. Alders describes his inspiration for the painting, “There is a place within that soothes and challenges every artist and musician at the core of our souls. Gabe refers to this as his island. This tranquil cove by the sea, is my rendition of that spiritual haven, where we go to create and just be.” Jay is thrilled to be a part of this project with Gabe and proud to see his talented singer-songwriter compadre share his acoustic music with the world.

“Bend in the Road” is a painting of an acoustic guitarist caught in a moment of inspiration and freedom. Between two seasons he finds a way to bend reality in an attempt to bring together his two sides. The only certainty is feeling comfortable in limbo and getting lost in the zone. Alders started this painting in 2009 inspired by his musician friend and left it aside until deciding to bring it to fruition in 2011. It was completed in January 2012.
